Imperfect + Honest

If you ask me what you are to do in order to be perfect, I say, first-

Do not lie in bed beyond the due time of rising;
give your first thoughts to God;
make a good visit to the Blessed Sacrament;
say the Angelus devoutly;
eat and drink to God’s glory;
say the Rosary well;
be recollected; keep out bad thoughts;
make your evening meditation well;
examine yourself daily;
go to bed in good time, and you are already perfect.

-Bl. John Henry Newman

Reflect

We must not be astonished to see ourselves imperfect, since we must never see ourselves otherwise in this life.
